I've had dozens of airline meals
Some of them have been reasonably tasty, with recognisable flavours. Most of them have been bland but inoffensive. Only one sticks in the mind as being utterly inedible.

It was late on New Year's Eve, and I was flying back to Blighty from Jesusland, courtesy of our fine friends at British Airways, enjoying an unexpected - and unrequested - "upgrade" to Peasant Class Plus with a slightly wider seat and no-one sitting next to me, and looking forward to a raucous, rowdy flight as we all saw in the New Year in well-inebriated style.

Instead, the cabin crew saw fit to limit the amount of booze being dished out to we filthy peasants in Peasant Class at the back of the bus, and plied us with liberal quantities of what I can only describe as savoury tapioca. Or semolina. Either way, it was the most disgusting "meal" it's ever been my displeasure to be served on an aeroplane. On reflection, it was even worse than the blini mentioned a few posts further down.

After we landed the purser apologised about the vile slops which had been originally intended for a pig farm but had been accidentally diverted to the airline caterers' kitchens.

Jesusland?
Is that the US or Israel?

The former.
